Mike Johnson Backtracks, Caves to Deep State, Democrats on Slipping FBI Spy Power Reauthorization into Defense Bill.
HT/ Joe6Pack
Speaker Mike Johson (R-LA) backtracked and caved to the deep state and Democrats, moving to slip a deep state authorization into the defense bill.
Reports say that congressional leaders, including Johnson, agreed to put an extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill would extend Section 702 until April 19.
This frustrated many conservatives, including those who were supposed to be instrumental in crafting the final texts for the NDAA.
Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) released a video statement after she said that leadership asked conferees, which includes herself, to agree to the 3000-plus page NDAA, which is “being released behind closed doors without even getting time to read it!”
The Peach State conservative blamed Johnson for negotiating with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to “cut a deal” that would contain prohibitions against funding for abortion and “trans surgery prohibitions” that were in the House-passed NDAA under former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
She explained:
It also would pass a CLEAN FISA extension. Not to mention, more of your taxpayer dollars sent to Ukraine to fund the proxy war. No member of the NDAA conference had any influence on this process. It was done in secret meetings with no input from conferees. Now, we’re supposed to just grin and take it with no say in the final bill. Is the GOP really going to fund abortion vacations and trans surgeries, fund the Ukraine war, all with a CLEAN FISA extension under Speaker Johnson?
This was a total sell-out of conservative principles and a huge win for Democrats.
Congratulations to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, you should all be excited to vote for this!
I’m a HELL NO! [Emphasis added]
Long time ago the House did their constituents business. That was a very long time ago. Today, they are in business for themselves and we need to just fuck off.
Hard for them to make it more clear.
The speed with which he was voted in after Jim Jordan’s failure made me suspicious.
Now I know that he is the GOPe version of Mike Pence. RINOs will never represent us. Ever.
Don’t expect a corrupt institution to do ethical things. The Congress, both houses, are our enemy. We saw them stab President Trump in the back at every opportunity when his party had complete control. The only hope for this country is a tsunami, meteor, earthquake, or nuke, destination DC. Complete annihilation while every politician and bureaucrat is in town.
Do not hope for decency from anyone in that shithole.
The handwriting was on the wall with Johnson from the beginning. I’m not at all surprised.
But he should resign the speakership.
Phony as a nine dollar bill.
The surveillance state probably has something on him.
Who or what is blackmailing him?
MTG IS THE ONLY ONE LEFT WHO NEEDS A JOCKSTRAP, OR BETTER YET, A CUP
There is less and less reason to believe that we can vote our way out of this.
I was unsure about Johnson but I don’t like what I am seeing. Seems like a squish. I preferred Jordan.
That’s Mike Fuckin Johnson to you, you worthless peons!
I get about six emails a day from this guy and his wife asking me for money. Why does he need money? If you hit “unsubscribe” plan on the requests doubling. The adds spend a lot of time explaining how Mike has a hot line to God. Speaking from my own personal experiences, from being in biz for myself for far longer than I like to think about, the people that have screwed me the hardest, by far, all wear sweet baby Jesus on their sleeve.
Having said all that, there’s plenty of video of this guy, and at the time nobody knew who he was, turn Marick Garland into a sniveling little bitch. So I’m going to give him another six months.
Bottom line we’re not quite the government for the people by the people our founders envisioned are we? And we need to get there, quick.
Kick the can.
I think they’re all in on it. They decide who among them will play the “conscientious objector” for the press.
MTG owns over 6 real estate properties, 5 Cars, and 1 Luxury Yacht.
Probably isn’t affected by the economy.
The ‘positives’ from the republicans have been astronomically minute.
We have been/are being played….The only acceptable response from American Patriots seems undeniable….

Benito, Brutha, let me introduce you to Elise Stefanik.
Like MTG, but educated. This is priceless. By the way, DJT has mentioned her several times as a potential running mate. In my mind he can’t go wrong. Mean while enjoy. This wasn’t even fair.

Elise Stefanik is one tough lady! I’ve been leery of her because she’s from NY. However, she certainly deserves consideration as a VP. I haven’t seen her pull any Mike Fuckin Johnson surprises so she has that going for her.

To use an old term for old guys, the woman is measured in her responses. But when she sees the green light, look fing out. Her brain works. That’s one diversity hire that will be rethinking her own personal bull shit IQ level.
so done w/ these Quislings …. bunch of ‘do-nothings’ that are content w/ the continued grifting of the American taxpayer
why are they so content? …. ’cause they’re in on it!
the Mafia is a charitable organization compared to these people
what if we refuse to pay taxes to these corrupt Plutocrats (bought by our $$$)? …. nothing …. they’ll just print more funny money & tax us more
the republican party left me a long time ago … I had hopes & stayed in …. got out before 2018 (w/ Ryan was in charge) when I finally realized they will never support the people that uphold the values that they espouse … but, in reality, do not support.
there are millions just like me …. & they could care less
the system is rigged … we ain’t voting our way out of this
Next up, or should I say down, the boarder. They have found his weaknesses.
Looks like Elise stirred up a hornets nest. Enough of this weak shit.

The tree of freedom thirsts…
DISGUSTING! Much better than the last 5 UNIPARTY Speakers; BUT NO GOOD! To be better than Nancy or Paul does not mean GOOD!
Mike Johnson is the Paul Ryan of John Boehners.
keep skng fbi dk & swallowing, assholes
gubmint n’s like johnson are the enemies of freedom & safety in what is now new haiti
Money and power have corrupted our country so deeply it will be a long, hard slog to get real change to the road back to anything resembling a government with the balls to do what’s right and constitutional.
If at all.
Cut a deal? What did we get out of it? You all do know what it’s going to take to get this country back?
Since Biden’s installation, our government has done absolutely nothing to benefit the citizens or the country – Democrats or Republicans. It should be abundantly clear that their own self interests far outweigh their concern for the American people. They make and control law so are subject to no accountability. Voting will not change a thing. All monies spent by these people go to other countries, far left causes, “friends and family”, non-productive people, illegals or ends up in their own pockets. There is no reason to believe any of them will effect change. They don’t want it.
“If voting changed anything, they’d make it illegal.”
Emma Goldman
Read elsewhere that the GOPe currently has about half of the Rep seats in the House(???). Was Johnson aware that, at best, 25% of the total House would back him, while 75% would back the UniParty proposals? Until more GOPe toads get replaced we will continue to get an occasional worthwhile bill passed, but it will be mighty slim pickings.
Retardicans thirst for death….
After expelling Santos….before he’s convicted of a crime….(Santos has plead innocent)….we keep getting reports of incumbent Retardicans retiring….
0ur Retardicans really hate being in charge of things….but love being “first losers”.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Figgin’ losers!
Definitely was expecting this. Gave Johnson benefit of the doubt for a while but my RINO radar kept going off. Just a matter of time before that RINO horn would pop out on his forehead. We now know who he truly is.
Johnson talked a good game, which enivitably turn into a “bait and swich” scam. He has now proven with his actions, he’s not a patriot or an authentic Christian – reaching across the aisle and compromising with enemies of our Republic and God proves it.
Done with this traitor.
